Treatment

Crocidura nigeriae Dollman 1915 , Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist., ser. 8, 15: 524.

Type Locality: Nigeria, Asaba, 150 mi. (241 km) up the Niger.

Vernacular Names: Nigerian Shrew.

Distribution: Rainforest in Nigeria, Cameroon, and Bioko; exact distribution unknown.

Conservation: IUCN – Lower Risk (lc).

Discussion: Formerly included in poensis ; but see Heim de Balsac (1957), Meylan and Vogel (1982), and Hutterer and Happold (1983). The karyotype of nigeria (2n = 50, FN = 76) is identical to that of batesi from Cameroon ( Schlitter et al., 1999), and it is possible that both are conspecifics.
